Three Bars Guest Ranch announces 2010 Summer Video and Photo Contest

CRANBROOK, B.C., January 27, 2010- For three generations, Three Bars Guest & Cattle Ranch has captured the imagination of guests by delivering enduring experiences of life on the range. This summer, Three Bars is putting the challenge out to guests, to help capture their guest ranch adventures, with the launch of the Three Bars Ranch 2010 Summer Video and Photo Contest beginning July 4 through to August 21, 2010.

“It has been said that you cannot explain in words to someone what it is that makes a guest ranch vacation so special,” says Tyler Beckley whose family owns and operates Three Bars Guest Ranch. “We’ve been providing guest ranching experiences for 30 years and for about the same length of time have been looking for the right words to describe the thrill that families are taking away with them. So we’re sweetening the challenge to find the ‘best guest shooter’ to tell us what they see and feel through images! ”

The Contest:

All summer long guests are invited to capture their vacation through images or video. Entries will be uploaded on the ranch website for everyone to see. These entries will be judged on how well they portray the true guest ranch experience. The grand prize winner will be awarded a guest ranch vacation at a partner ranch: the White Stallion in Tucson AZ. The all inclusive three night stay prize package is valued at $1260 USD.
